eye and clear skin that characterize acte youth can only be retained in that way remarked a physician it to is a fact he continued that few people know what it is to rest well many believe that they do rest well and frequently I 1 hear people remark that nothing in the world disturbs them after they have gotten into their beds yet these same people get up drowsy in the morning many of them are noticeably languid all the time some of them are irritable and nervous and all of them now and then complain of being so lazy or tired that they are incapable of displaying any energy whatever now the direct cause of these things is a want of rest and of this they are robbed by a host of readily cured ailments and petty disturbances ENEMIES OP OF REST BEST no one can get refreshing sleep in a room that is not properly ventilated ti the window should in the summer time be lowered from the top and raised from the bottom in the winter if not altogether too cold for comfort the same practice should be observed and in any event the room should be properly aired before retiring and some means of ventilation after that adopted no one can sleep as well next to a boiler room as he could in a place nv here no jar or noise exists every variation or violent sound is a clash with the nerves of the sleeper and a destroyer of his needed rest whether he be conscious of it or not the bustle and roar of every great city is more or less a tax on the life of each of its inhabitants another great enemy of rest is if mental labor when it is called into use before retiring any one that concentrates his thoughts in any way likely to cause worriment or anxiety before going to bed will pay the penalty by a sacrifice of his rest and by carrying hollow eyes and unstrung nerves all the next day this is very easily explained the use of the brain functions causeman cau causes an abnormal amount of blood to flow anti and settle there for the time being only by diversion of the mind in a way and an ordinary amount of physical exercise can the brain be relieved of its load sleep will not do it and when sleep does come on a person in this condition after a good deal of tossing about the brain will continue to act and abild the nerves to contract perhaps continuously throughout the night then the poor victim will arise in the morning wondering why he does not feel refreshed the fact is the exception of his eyes which have been rested by being shielded from the light he is not much better off than he would be had he not gone to bed at all indigestion and constipation bear about an equal share in the theft 0 sleep of the latter not much can be said with delicacy it is a common complaint that gives rise to more serious ailments than any other single disorder it is so easily avoided by regularity of habit or some simple remedy that there is no excuse for allow ing such an affliction to become chronic about indigestion it is something we must all submit to occasionally for our regard for our palate readily overcomes our discretion and puts temperance in the shade the effect of indigestion on the human system is worse when the body is meant to he in a state of repose there is no way then of throwing it off and it must be allowed to do its worst in debilitating the one attacked when there is a tendency to indi or also a torpid liver a simple temporary relief may be afforded by taking a little bicarbonate of soda this has the effect of quieting the stomach by creating carbonic acid gas ams which is readily thrown off afis this is the ingredient the stomach lacks when in a state 0 indigestion now regarding the question of eating before retiring at night I 1 should say it is equally as bad to eat indigestible food or a large quantity of any sort of viands as it is is to go to bed hungry an empty stomach will cause a rush nish of blood to the head and one that is heavily laden is likely too to be filled with obnoxious gases in which the element of carbonic acid is not so 80 prevalent as to prevent some consequences that lead to broken rest if one is troubled with insomniac insomnia a bandage soaked in cold water and laid across the eyes and temples will afford almost immediate relief and guarantee rest to the weary person if he be suffers with no other ailment this same appliance also brov proves es very beneficial in directing an excessive flow of blood from the brains into its proper channel these simple rules if observed will allow every one to get that rest which prolongs life and p preserves youth and beauty new york news the lemon new york
